Serva Fidem
The QND Serva Fidem program is for students who desire to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and want accountability. Students from the same grade level and same gender (i.e. freshman girls, junior boys, etc.) are brought together to form a small group. Each group has 1 or 2 adult leaders. These groups meet weekly throughout the year and aim to grow together in the four areas of formation: intellectual, spiritual, human, and pastoral.
Purpose
Falling under the Ministries of Catechesis, Community Life, Evangelization, and Pastoral Care, Serva Fidem is the most continual, in-depth opportunity for students to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Students discuss the Church’s teachings in a small group setting. These small groups become a safe community for students to challenge each other in their faith walk. Students also have an opportunity to be evangelized by their peers and small group leaders and to evangelize their peers simply by inviting them to join. The adult small group leaders serve as a resource to help students as they go through struggles in their faith and in their lives.
“Small group has really shaped my high school faith life. Not only has brought me closer to my friends, but it has brought me closer in my relationship with Jesus. Meeting just about every week, talking about difficult topics in our faith, and growing closer with friends has been such a privilege that i am so thankful for. High school can be really difficult if you don’t have a good fellowship of friends to be around and i am so lucky that God has brought me to this small group with these girls that i have made friendships for life with.”
